Shipping from the State of Mississippi to New Jersey
The Magnolia State of Mississippi joined the Union as the 20th state in 1817 and gets its name from the Mississippi River, which forms its western border. Early inhabitants of the area that became Mississippi included the Choctaw, Natchez and Chickasaw. Spanish explorers arrived in the region in 1540 but it was the French who established the first permanent settlement in present-day Mississippi in 1699.
During the first half of the 19th century, Mississippi was the top cotton producer in the United States, and owners of large plantations depended on the labor of black slaves. Mississippi seceded from the Union in 1861 and suffered greatly during the American Civil War. Despite the abolition of slavery, racial discrimination endured in Mississippi, and the state was a battleground of the Civil Rights Movement in the mid-20th century. In the early 21st century, Mississippi ranked among America’s poorest states.
The state capital is Jackson and it takes the state motto-Virtute et armis (“By valor and arms”).
Shipping to the State of Mississippi to New Jersey
During the American Revolution, New Jersey served as a significant battleground. New Jersey, the most populous state in the union, is sandwiched between New York and Pennsylvania at the center of the busy Atlantic Corridor. New Jersey was named for the island of Jersey in the English Channel. With more than 50 oceanfront resort towns, including Asbury Park, Atlantic City, and Cape May, New Jersey has long been a well-loved vacation destination. Several notable musicians are from the state, including Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, and Jon Bon Jovi. Although it has a reputation as an industrial hub, New Jersey is a major producer of cranberries, blueberries, and tomatoes, earning the moniker “Garden State.”
The state of New York borders it on the north and east; the Atlantic Ocean on the east, southeast, and south; the Delaware River and Pennsylvania on the west; and Delaware Bay and the State of Delaware on the southwest. Trenton serves as the state capital of New Jersey, which attained statehood on December 18, 1787. Liberty and Prosperity, the state slogan, captures the effervescent face of the state.
